Black Lives Matter Criticized For Being No Shows At Louisiana Flood

Black Lives Matter finds itself under fire for protesting the Baton Rogue shooting, but ignoring the Louisiana flood, reports the Washington Times.

A video of a Baton Rogue resident asking where the Black Panthers and the Black Lives Matter people are has gone viral.

“I have not seen not one Black Panther boat, not one Black Lives Matter boat, truck or nothing else. So with all the drama that was going on with the Alton Sterling killing, oh they came out with guns, ready to go to war. But here we go, all these people flooded out and truly in need of some help and you can’t find not one of them,” Jerry T Washington said in the video.

Black Lives Matter got more criticism after offering free photography services for families affected by the flood.

“Louisiana families, check out Green Tangerine Photography who is providing free photos to those impacted by the flooding. #BlackLivesMatter‬,” the group posted on Facebook. Each family will receive one 8×10 photo with others available for a “discounted rate.”

“Hey @blacklivesmater why aren’t you sending people to help out in Louisiana? Why don’t you lead by example and help your own community? Or is it that you just want to sit back and do nothing then complain that no one helped you?” Kevin Markowski-Jr commented on the post.

Another user commented that Black Lives Matter was only for show.

“Your organization is apparently for appearances’ sake only. Not doing anything positive to help the communities you claim to support. Not doing anything to stop crime in these neighborhoods,” Mark Turner wrote.

It was never about the skin color. Its all about money and power.

BLM are just pissed off because the flooding already did the property damage they wanted to do.

Is there an urgent need for a gang of thugs in the flooded areas?

BLM is the domestic terrorist arm of ISIS.
In a sane world, they’d be shot on sight.

I’m sure a family photograph is the first thing on the minds of people flooded out of their homes. I bet the response was overwhelming.

Because they are domestic terrorist groups who are only set on destroying; not actually helping or building.

DUH

They are pretty good at whining and complaining, but not so good at actually working to make the world a better place. They are useless, and belong in jail, or Liberia.

Because they’re not about helping, they’re about protesting.

What’s the point of BLM going to a flooded area?

Do you know how hard it is to burn down a building that’s underwater?

I like this. It points out the hypocrisy of the BLM and Panthers movement while getting ordinary black people to think and re-evaluate their own lives and priorities.
